Forty-one final year undergraduate psychology students participated in the present study and they were asked to imagine themselves as applicants for the post of research assistant (RA) and they were interviewed via interview transcripts. Prior to answering the interview questions in the transcript, they were asked to read a job description of RA. Afterward, counterbalanced interview transcripts were distributed to all of them.

The results showed a significant effect of interview structure on applicants’ reactions with F (1, 40) =35.289; p<0.01. Particularly, applicants reacted negatively to structured interview compared to semi-structured (t (41) =-8.67; p<0.01) and unstructured interview (t (41) = -5.94; p<0.01). No significant difference was found in applicants’ reactions between semi-structured and unstructured interview with t (41) = 1.56; p>0.05.
